Starting to put together Christmas lists for you with some of my favorite products I own or some products that are personally on my wish list. There will be several blog posts like these that I post. This one is specifically dedicated to Home item gifts which would be great to gift to newlyweds, new […]

I woke up at the beginning of November feeling all sorts of feelings. Anxious, annoyed, hopeful, tired, lonely, excited…it was quite the confusing mix. Hopeful because it was no longer October, and tired because our world is hurting. Anxious because people are fighting all over. Annoyed because I desire peace, love, & healing. Lonely because […]

I wrote this years ago in my journal. Not knowing that I would ever share it publicly. It has since gone viral on pinterest when I saved it to my journal board (I used to share random encouragement/words there before I blogged). I didn’t think others would see it but I thought maybe it would […]

The gloomy day in October reminds my mind and body of so much pain and hurt I’ve experienced. But this October is different. I’ve felt this before each year that passes.

Ripped pages and torn paper, taped edges and tear stains…if I could wrap my life up into a picturesque phrase it would be, “just like a scrapbook.” Some people’s scrapbooks are perfect and printed. Some have ribbons and hand made art. Mine has ripped pieces, kraft tape holding pages together and tears spreading ink. But […]

Okay- so this is kind of funny but I had a dream that I became a minimalist and woke up super inspired. So I have started to go through my bathroom first and got rid of products that I don’t use or don’t love. I also started to go through my makeup and get rid […]

Many of you have heard me say how important it is for me to “celebrate the little victories.” If you haven’t heard me say that then let me give you a little bit of a background. I have PTSD/Anxiety/Depression due to an accident where I have a brain injury amongst other things. For several years, […]
